Steel frame ID

When I glanced at it I thought it was a rando/selfmade but then I saw it actually has a nicely inscribed serial and the welds aren't terrible.

Maybe a stripped Bianchi?

I don't have an idea on who made it but the deep chainstay crimps are a bit unusual. Looks like it may have a dent in the TT near the ST on the right side.

That thing looks chinese made to me.

Dont remember any bianchi in steel made with that tubing, maybe you are confusing it with the aluminum models, but who knows.

The front tube should be the give away but personally never seen that front tube configuration ever.

SO much chinese made fix gear has been imported that who knows who made it or which brand that frame was sold originally.

Agreed, looks like a SE or Motobecane from bikesdirect.

Bikesdirect gave me 60% off MSRP to post this. Still not a deal.
